Re: [Jcrbrowser-developers] JCR Browser 0.9.3 preparation

[<san...@gm...>]

Hi Ketan,

there is nothing to apology for.
I'm not sure if I understand your first point. What would be the 
powerful feature, the search being an other view or the filter?
You are right, saved searches would be quite useful. Next to configuring 
many repository connection and being able to choose them on "Login".
At the moment the JCR Browser doesn't has a storage model. The 
preferences API is (mis-)used for that right now.

Right now I would like to focus on the 1.0 release of the JCR Browser to 
make it more visible. In this release the JCR Browser should
visualize all basic information of a JCR. I think this is almost done.
Maybe we should also show the versioning informations.
I think also basic and useful help informations should be available. I 
already started the development for that a while ago.
The most important missing features are connectors to the Exo Platform 
and to Alfresco. Somebody had a not completely working connection to 
Alfresco using the RMI connection library. I think I can cooperate with 
him as a starting point.

Bye,

Sandro
